we serving the general membership optimally? In this month’s message, I’m asking the general membership for help. It has been over a year since I brought this topic up, but in the last six months some members of your BOD and I have concerns about the attendance numbers at our regular monthly meet-ings. Certainly, attendance fluctuates over the year, but a lower attendance

can also suggest a problem. If there is a problem, we need to identify it and find a solution. Looking at the services we provide: our website, our newsletter, and help forums, etc., I believe are very good. That said, that points us to other areas, such as, location, facilities, dues, pro-gram and workshop content, etc. But frankly, without membership feed-back, we are just guessing.

A message from the prez—Occasionally we have to ask the gen-eral membership for help. With the volunteer work of the Board of Direc-tors (BOD) we usually can handle most of the day-to-day challenges that come up: an increase in the cost of our insur-ance, flowers or donations, finding a new location to hold our meetings and workshops, all in a day’s work, but… your BOD has an ongoing concern; are

Looking at just one of our activities: our main programs and workshop content— We try to anticipate and stimulate the interests of the mem-bership by selecting and providing the best topics we can. It is a tough problem, not only are good presenters in short supply, but selecting the right mix of topics is guess work unless we get feedback from the membership. Another example, location and facilities are a possible problem area. There have clearly been some prob-lems at the Discovery Center, as there were at the Senior Center, but is that a problem? Again, we don’t know with-out feedback from the membership. Not too many years ago we added the iPhone and iPad to our core cur-riculum: there was the question of whether or not we shouldn’t stay with just the Mac computer topics. Your BOD made a judgment call and added them. Was that the right decision or not, did it matter? Again, we don’t re-ally know.   You will be receiving an email link-ing to an interactive survey. I would like each of you to consider our con-cerns and please take five minutes of your time to give us this vital feedback. Thank you. Our next regular meeting will be the 13th of September at 7:00 PM in the Discovery Center, and our Workshops will resume on the 22nd of September at 1:30 PM in the University Center of the College of Central Florida. Hope to see you there. —Bobby Adams

Do you remember the article in the January 2015 Newsletter about the need to create a Digital Es-

tate Plan? There is also a companion article published in May 2015 with infor-mation about creating a Digital Asset Inventory — a key ingredient of your Digital Estate Plan. At that time Florida had no legisla-tion in place to address the issue and there was no clear guidance for indi-viduals, attorneys, and estate planners on how to deal with the potential prob-lems. I’m happy to report that the situa-tion has recently changed. On July 1, 2016, the Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Statute (ss. 740.001-740.09) was enacted by the Florida Legislature. This piece of legislation outlines in great detail the definitions, procedures, and

responsibilities involved in dealing with your digital assets. For those of you that are interested in reading this new law, I have posted a copy on our website. I’ll warn you it reads like most legislation

-- written by lawyers and only under-standable by lawyers. For the rest of us, I will share the language my own law-yer added to the Fiduciary Provisions in my legal documents that may be a little easier to understand. As you can see, it is pretty comprehensive.

Save Your Life— add a medical ID to your iPhone by Don Mayer, Smalldog.comYou only think you are invulnerable and won’t get into an accident, but if you do, and if you end up being unable to speak with the emergency responders, wouldn’t you like your iPhone to help you out? Once you enter your medical data and emer-gency contact info into Apple’s Health app to create a Medical ID, anyone can use your iPhone to learn about your medi-cation allergies and other conditions, plus contact your family.

25 Feature story 1

by Sam Costello, iPhone/iPod Expert on about.com

What Is HomeKit?HomeKit is Apple’s framework for allow-ing Internet of Things (IoT) devices to work with iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad. It’s a platform designed to make it easy for manufacturers of Internet of Things devices to add iOS compatibility to their products.What Is the Internet of Things?The Internet of Things is the name given to a class of previously non-digital, non-networked products that connect to the Internet for communication and control. Computers, smartphones, and tablets are not considered IoT devices. Internet of Things devices are some-times also referred to as home automa-tion or smart home devices. Some of the most famous Internet of Things devices are the Nest Thermostat and Amazon Echo. The Nest Thermostat is a good example of what makes an IoT device different. It replaces a traditional thermostat and provides features like an Internet connection, an app to control it, the ability for the app to control it over the Internet, reporting on usage, and in-telligent features like learning usage pat-terns and suggesting improvements. Not all Internet of Things devices

• Philips Hue lighting system Buy at Amazon• Schlage Sense Smart Deadbolt • A full list of currently available Home Kit products is available from Apple here.How Do I Know If a Device Is HomeKit Compatible?HomeKit compatible devices often have a logo on their packaging that reads

“Works with Apple HomeKit.” Even if you don’t see that logo, check the other in-formation provided by the manufacturer. Not every company uses the logo. Apple has a section of its online store that features HomeKit-compatible prod-ucts. This isn’t every compatible device, but it’s a good place to start. Browse HomeKit products at Apple How Does HomeKit Work?HomeKit-compatible devices communi-cate with a “hub,” which gets its instruc-tions from an iPhone or iPad. You send a command from your iOS device—to turn off the lights, for instance—to the hub, which then communicates the command to the lights. In iOS 8 and 9, the only Ap-ple device that worked as a hub was the 3rd or 4th generation Apple TV, though users could also buy a third-party, stand-alone hub. In iOS 10, the iPad can work as a hub in addition to the Apple TV and third-party hubs.How Do I Use HomeKit?You don’t really use HomeKit itself. Rather, you use products that work with Home-Kit. The closest thing to using HomeKit for most people is using the Home app

to control their Internet of Things devices. You can also control HomeKit-compatible devices through Siri. For instance, if you have a HomeKit-compatible light, you could say, “Siri, turn on the lights” and it would happen.

What Is Apple’s Home App?Home is Apple’s Internet of Things con-troller app. It allows you to control all of your HomeKit-compatible devices from a single app, rather than controlling each from its own app.

What Can the Home App Do?The Home app lets you control individual HomeKit-compatible Internet of Things devices. You can use it to to turn them on and off, change their settings, etc. What’s even more useful, though, is that the app can be used to control multiple devices si-multaneously. This is done using a feature called Scenes. You can set up your own Scene. For ex-ample, you could create a Scene for when you come home from work that automat-ically turns on the lights, adjusts the air conditioner, and opens the garage door. You could use another Scene just before sleep to turn off every light in the house, set your coffee maker to brew a pot in the morning, etc.

How Do I Get the Home App?The Home app comes pre-installed by default as part of iOS 10. a

Everything You Need to Know About Apple HomeKit—

replace existing offline products. Amazon’s Echo— a connected speaker that can provide informa- tion, play music, control other devices, and more— is a good example of one such device that is an entirely new category.

Why Is HomeKit Necessary?Apple created HomeKit to make it easy for manufacturers to interact with iOS de-vices. This was necessary because there’s no single standard for IoT devices to com-municate with each other. There are a series of competing platforms—AllSeen, AllJoyn—but without a single standard, it’s hard for consumers to know if the de-vices they buy will work with each other. With HomeKit, you can not only be sure that all devices will work together, but also that they can be controlled from a single app (for more on this, see the ques-tions about the Home app below).

When Was HomeKit Introduced?Apple introduced HomeKit as part of iOS 8 in Sept. 2014.

What Devices Work With HomeKit?There are dozens of IoT devices that work with HomeKit. They are too many to list them all here, but some good examples include:

• Haier D-Air air conditioner • Honeywell Lyric thermostat Buy at Amazon• Hunter HomeKit Enabled Ceiling Fan • iDevices Switch Connected Plug Buy at Amazon

Agnes Smith is a little lady with a great big passion for the beauty that Mother Nature brings to us. She is at

her happiest when she is with camera in hand capturing that very beauty. Agnes, with husband in tow, was Orlando bound, but it wasn't that simple.The early morning light was right as they neared Mt. Dora. She had always admired the lighthouse on the lake, presto— side trip, where she shot a series of vertical frames, all hand-held, which she later stitched together using Affinity to create the panorama shown at right. Act 2— flowers: in a neighbors yard, in her yard, in a park, in Marion’s Master Garden— it doesn’t matter where, Agnes will be on the hunt. " All I try to get is some sharp pictures of the flowers which I find is sometimes hard to do with roses to get the individual petals to show up.” She also is always looking to simplfy the backgroundand/or soften the depth-of-field so that the bloom stands out.

With Summer/Fall in full swing and with countless reasons for me to be using my iPhone I am finding that my battery is running down much faster than it nor-mally does. Some of my decline in battery is simply because I’ve had the phone for almost two years now ( I’m holding out for the 7 ) but another factor is the increased demand on my phone. In my travels this summer I’ve been using navigation more, taking tons of pictures and using my phone to keep up with happenings at home and in the of-fice. I find that by the end of some days I’m down to 10% or less battery power. In addition to using more battery power, I’m also using more data. We get spoiled with our iPhones and auto switching to wifi whenever it’s around. Fortunately most of us have wifi at home and/or in an office. There are several small steps you can take to extend the life of your battery when you know you will have longer periods of time between charges. Music streaming, just like movie streaming, is a big suck on your battery. If your using Apple Music I recommend that you create playlists so you can listen to your tunes offline. I’m a fan of turning my phone to airplane mode when listening to locally stored music, it significantly increases my battery life and it’s nice to know you can really relax for a bit knowing you won’t get any calls or text messages! Location services are another huge

suck on your battery. If you are using a navigation app to get to a destination consider turning location services off for that app once you get there. Unless you’re able to keep your phone plugged into a power source, navigation apps are some of the biggest drains on your battery so it’s advisable to turn those off as soon as you can. The same goes for notifications. It’s great to know that Bobby just posted a new picture to your Facebook wall, but it’s another background operation on your phone that can leave you with a dead phone in a hurry. Another quick way to help increase your battery life is to simply turn down your screen brightness. This is a really small step that can make a huge differ-ence. You can also set your phone to auto adjust based on light conditions around you. Simply go to Settings > Display & Brightness and adjust it to make these changes automatically. Lastly, enabling low power mode can really help to give you some much needed time before you really need to charge your phone. In iOS 9, to enable Low Power Mode, go to Settings > Battery, flip the switch for Low Power Mode to tell your iPhone to use less power for a variety of background activities and visual effects. iOS automatically prompts you to turn Low Power Mode on when the battery drops to 20%; it’s best to accept that suggestion. Summer/Fall adventures should be about more fun and less worry, hopefully these tips help you to capture and enjoy all these is to see and do, yet while still staying connected. a

There is a mountain of information out there about cloud storage versus cloud backups versus physical drives. In order to be able to select the right solution you need to have a basic understanding of what the differences are between the op-tions. There is iCloud, Google drive, wire-less drives like the Lacie Fuel, Seagate Per-sonal Cloud, tradition plug in USB drives. What makes learning about and weigh-ing options even harder is that each op-tion available, depending on what you’re reading, makes it sound as though that particular backup option is superior to all other solutions out there. To try and make it a little easier on yourself, here’s a general outline of the pros and cons of the different solutions out there. It is very important that as you read through information, consider the different options, and think about what best suites your needs. Some of us at Small Dog swear by wireless back up so-lutions and others of us stick to good old physical drives and Time Machine. iCloud is free for all users, but it’s only free for the first 5GB, so if you are look-ing to utilize iCloud for backing up an iPad, iPhone or documents from your computer you may want to purchase ad-ditional storage. It’s just $0.99/month for 50GB of storage (you can get up to 1TB) so I strongly encourage upgrading to a higher storage option even if it’s just for secondary backup of your photos. When using iCloud it’s important to log into your iCloud account from time to time to make sure that the information you want backed up is being backed up, especially

the photos. I have talked with several cus-tomers over the years who thought they were backing up photos to the cloud and because they never logged into their on-line account, never knew the backup was not happening correctly. It’s also impor-tant to know that iCloud is not backing up programs, it’s just the files. Thankfully with Apple purchased apps you can eas-ily download anything you might have purchased through your iTunes account in the app store, but this will not help you for third party programs. Finally, it’s also important to know that you will need to continue to pay for the service, if you stop paying for it, you will lose files.

There are tons of other online backup and cloud storage options, it’s crucial to note that some “cloud storage” options are not actual backups. They’re just a place to store things, so restoring a ma-chine from a cloud backup service is of-ten not possible unless you are paying for that kind of service. Think of many cloud storage solutions as nothing different than just dropping and dragging files to a physical drive. You will have to piece back together your information if you have a complete loss of your data on your com-puter. For many folks this is absolutely OK. Physical hard drives and using Time Machine often —continued on page 7

It seems Apple is determined to stay at the forefront of smartphone imaging. According to French newspaper  Dau-phiné Libéré, Apple is planning to open a dedicated imaging research laboratory in Grenoble, France. The focus of the new facility will be on image sensors and tech-nology for iOS devices. The reports say that an Apple team has been working on imaging at the Minatec European research center in Grenoble for over a year, but now the company wants to establish its own lab and has recently signed a lease for a building that offers

A Few More Pearls

provide a greater sense of security simply because it’s a physical piece of equip-ment and you can see your information on the drive. If you’re using software like Time Machine, you will have a complete copy of your data along with programs and can, in most cases, quickly restore data to your computer. A downside is that external drives can and do fail. This would be an example of where a cloud-based option offers some increased secu-rity. It’s unlikely data would and could be compromised using cloud services pro-vided you continue to pay for the service. Physical drives have the advantage of a one time fee. When you buy the drive it’s unlikely that a user would need to pay for anything additional after the initial set up. Lastly are the personal cloud drive and wireless drives. Personal cloud drives like the Seagate Personal Cloud allow you to create your own cloud storage solution and support it completely on your own. This cloud solution works very similarly to other services and allows you to access

information from anywhere and anytime just like traditional cloud services. The draw back to personal cloud type set-ups is they are often for advanced users because they can be more complicated to set up and to maintain. Wireless hard drives like the Lacie Fuel often require that you are within range of that drive and will not work with Time Machine. The benefit to these drives is they allow mul-tiple users to access information and are perfect for sharing media, but like per-sonal cloud type drives they could require a slightly higher level of understanding when it comes to drives and data sharing. Ultimately I am not sure there is one perfect solution and combining wireless with wired options is often a good com-promise. I have used iCloud for years for my calendars, my contacts, and I love iCloud keychain. I even have my favorites synced in Safari via the cloud. However, I still utilize a physical hard drive and Time Machine backup on all of my machines.a

800 square meters of floor space. This will provide space for a team of approxi-mately 30 engineers and the equipment needed for sensor development.The Dauphiné Libéré article also says that work on iPhone and iPad sensors will be undertaken in collaboration with  STMicroelectronics, which previously has been an Apple supplier. It’s good to see smartphone manufacturers investing in imaging, and we may find that the  up-coming iPhone 7 generation will come with some technology that has been, at least partially, developed in France. a

He made a brief mention of his Senior Learners program on Genealogy and that our workshops will resume at the Senior Learners facilities at CF on September 22 – program: MAC Fundamentals presented by Phil Davis.Treasurer’s Report: Balance on hand as of 1 August— $1,699.00; Expenses: $48.85; Deposits: $60.00.Secretary’s Report: Minutes of the July meeting were accepted as published.Program: Burt introduced Jim Sloan, General Manager; Ernie Tibbets; and Rebecca DeMarco from Verizon. Jim described the layout of the State Road 200 store – designed to give customers “hands on” with the products available; that his staff are trained to be knowledge-able, friendly and courteous. Verizon has the largest coverage in the US – where there is no coverage on the map shown it’s because the area is either government owned, Indian Reservations, or water. He provided answers to numerous questions from members. He then handed-off to Rebecca who explained the most common way to purchase phones. Ernie then introduced us to Version’s latest mobile device, the HUM – a truly remarkable safety device – and it’s on sale with a special discount for OMUG members! See Program notes.

About the cover “Phil Davis” photo—This sunrise shot, yes sunrise, was made one morning several years ago at New Smyrna Beach. It obviously was one of those wonderful “vacation” moments when the right amount of cloud formations helped bring it all together for a strong image. At the time, Phil was using a point & shoot Canon G5. He did his post-processing in Photoshop, primarily adjusting levels and curves to achieve the image’s depth of color and shadows.
